Just an fyi my thought is the Doctor will leave Nora, for now. She'll take care of the now free of Torx people then show up near the end of the wedding and ask Nora if she needed a lift back home, via some far off planet.

"It's okay." The Doctor told Nora as she entered the TARDIS, closing the doors behind her. "The TARDIS can travel through time properly now. I am going to take you to moments after you guys got kidnapped. Bring the unconscious Torx guy back here, and you guys will be alright." The Doctor nodded mostly to herself, before setting about pulling levers, pushing buttons and running around the large circular consul like the madwoman she was.

The TARDIS made some truly terrifying noises and then quieted down. "Alright we're here." The Doctor helped Nora take her sister and place her on the bed, then the two of them grabbed the unconscious Torx kidnapper and put him in the TARDIS. "Right so, I hope your sister's wedding goes well. You still have my number if anything odd happens." Never one for goodbye that was the closet the Doctor was going to get.

The Third Annual Hunger Games

Tessa was startled as Richwood pulled her into hiding, she nearly dropped her box of lure supplies. He covered her mouth just in time to stop her from yelling at him. Her eyes widened in horror as the few peace keepers passed. Once they were passed though Richwood handed her half of his stolen goods. She sighed, but was thankful for the food. She had skipped breakfast, she usually did. There just wasn't enough food for them to have all of their meals.

"Thanks." She told him as she munched on the bread and what their odds were. "Well my name is only in there five times. One for each year since I was 12. Despite having been older than that. You haven't taken any stipends because they would have moved into one of the orphan homes, but I know there are kids older than us who have taken stipends each month, so their names are in there a lot. We should be okay." She finally announced, they had started walking toward their school.

It was a small building with only a few rooms in it. The grades were mixed to make up for the lack of rooms. Neither Tessa or Richwood had made other friends since the Reapings had started. They had had one other friend up until last year, she had been reaped, and never returned home.

"You're late." The teacher told them as they took their seats.

"Sorry, there were some peace keepers on the road here, we wanted to avoid them." Tessa lied easily, it was mostly true anyway, she was only lying by omission.

"Nope." The Doctor said as she pressed the button. The high pitch noise emitted and the PA system picked it up. The sound echoed through the building. The Doctor leaning over it holding her breath as she waited. After about 15 seconds, but what felt like a much longer time there was the sound of a bodies hitting the floor outside the room. In response the Doctor let out her breath of air.

"It worked." She gave Nora a happy smile. "Come on." She picked up the machine and opened the door that led out. Outside the room were several unconscious people the Doctor paused and checked to make sure they all had pulses. "Let's get you and your sister to the wedding. I'll come back and help these people." The Doctor led the way back to the TARDIS. Outside of it the two men from earlier were starting to sit up.

"Oye, my head." The man who had the body of the kidnapper said as he pushed himself into a sitting position.

"You'll be alright mate." The Doctor said kneeling beside him. "What's the last thing you remember?"

"I was gettin' off shift at the factory." He replied looking between the Doctor and Nora perplexed.

"What's the date?" The Doctor asked.

"Uh, January seventh." The Doctor shook her head.

"We'll talk when I get back. For now there's a bunch of people unconscious throughout the building. If you find anyone not unconscious and they are acting suspicious press this button." She handed over the machine. The man nodded taking the machine from the Doctor.

The Third Annual Hunger Games

Tessa had spent the morning making sure her box of lure supplies was ready for school. While she was in class or in between she'd work on making lures. The teachers put up with it because she kept in class well enough. Today though would be a bad day it'd be the Reaping. Her heart pounded at the idea of it. What if her name was drawn? There were so few years that her name could be drawn. Three years had already passed where it hadn't been, now she just had to get through three more.

Tessa had done everything she could to make sure her name only ended up in the lottery once a year. The lures brought in just enough money to make sure her and her parents, and her best friend Rickwood were fed. The food that her father brought in from fishing was their staple food.

She sighed and tucked her shirt into the waist of her skirt before stepping out of the house. Rickwood would be near, the two always walked to school together. Class would end early for the Reaping. Tessa was surprised they hadn't just made the whole day a holiday. Her stomach ached at the idea of the reaping as she waited for Rickwood.

The Doctor's muffled response from under the counter was "I'm not sure, but I can tell you they aren't a hive mind. I've not encountered them since before the Time War and then they were a small parasite that kept to a rudimentary planet. I didn't even know they had gotten off that planet till now. I mean I had found traces of the possibility, but never a face to face encounter with them." The sound of electricity sparking and the smell of ozone filled the room.

"Gotcha ya!" The Doctor shouted pleased with herself. She sat up suddenly and banged her head on the underpart of the desk. "Ow..." She climbed out one hand on her head, that hand also held the metal device Nora recognized from the car. "Alright the PA system should work now." The Doctor flicked it on and said into the microphone, "Testing. Testing. Good afternoon Torx. This is The Doctor speaking. I need you to listen very closely to what I am about to say." The Doctor waved Nora over to her with the machine.

The Third Annual Hunger Games

I was going to post, but I realized since our characters know each other and at this point I don't know who your character is yet....so yeah...tomorrow.

The Third Annual Hunger Games

I shall be playing the part of Tessa Bingham. A 16 year old girl of the 4th district. She has had a hard time these last three years adjusting to the idea of her name being in a lotto that could be the death of her. To escape from the idea of it she spends a lot of her time swimming. When the 13th district was wiped off of the map Tessa was prepared for more than just a small uprising, instead everything fell apart around her. She now makes lures to earn money for her small family. She's an only child.

The Doctor took care of several other Torx controlled people while Nora was looking for the PA system. The Doctor started wondering if there was a head Torx and what would happen after she took that Torx out. Where they a hive mind? Probably not, they all seemed surprised as she took them out. Then a passing thought, she was killing off all these aliens. Some of them deserved a chance too, but if they lived they'd kill all the humans. When Nora called her over she was making sure that the just fallen people had a heartbeat still. She stood quickly and headed over to where Nora was standing in a doorway.

"Perfect." The Doctor grinned seeing the PA system. She walked over to it quickly. The Doctor flicked several switches hoping the same thing Nora did. When nothing happened she sighed. "Watch the door." She handed the "tracking" machine over to Nora. "That's the button you'll want to press if anyone comes." She then knelt under the desk and started messing with the wiring. The strange noise Nora had heard in the car repeated as The Doctor dug around under the desk.

"If I did everything right they should be." The Doctor nodded as she replied to Nora's question about the guys. "They'll wake up with a bit of a headache and no memory of however long they've been controlled by the Torx. That'll cause some confusion I'm sure, but as all things do it will clear up." The Doctor was leading the way down a hall. Several more of the Torx controlled humans were up ahead. The Doctor pressed the button as they started toward them.

The Doctor looked up and noticed a PA system. "I have an idea. We can get the noise to play over the sound system." She pointed up at the speakers. "It should take care of all of them in one go. See if you can find the right room. I'll keep playing the noise as we go."
